I'm desperate for color in my yard this year but wanted our limited budget to get us the most amount of flowers and plants possible so we decided to turn our house into a make-shift greenhouse and start some seeds indoors. The kids and I made a homeschool project out of it. We planted lupines, petunias, snapdragons, and foxglove in seed starting kits purchased at our local hardware store. Then I got the idea to make our own more inexpensively using plastic cups with holes cut into the bottom inside of paper bowls.
I also heard you could put the seeds right onto a plate with a wet paper towel coveted by plastc wrap to hasten germination. Now, we are tracking the results of our "experiment." Hopefully we'll have a yard the Queen would envy!
